The
third challenge for the Cricut Circle’s Canadian Online Swarm is to create a home décor project using chipboard and Cricut cut flowersHere’s what I came up with:

I cut the cone from the Artiste Cartridge from poster board and folded in the little scallops across the top of the cone and used this to adhere it upside down on the circle. The base of the hat is chipboard (a cereal box) with the poster board layered on top. It is a little hard to see, but the entire hat is covered with glitter

I'm not sure anyone is still reading this blog as I haven't posted in forever, but I'm still here.
I promised to do host a challenge for the online Canadian Swarm on the Cricut Circle Message Board, so the challenge I came up with is:Create one of the following using at least one Cricut cut:
(1) a project for Halloween without using green, purple, yellow or orange in the project; or
(2) a project of Thanksgiving without using orange, brown, red or golden yellow in the project; or
(3) a project for Christmas without using any green, red or pure white in the project. [Off whites like a beige can be used.]
Note: you may use a prohibited colour if the shade is not traditional (for example, lime green in a Christmas project or soft lilac in a Halloween project).
And here's my sample project - a Christmas card in purple and teal:
